However, the killer, a mentally unstable human woman named Tana Santu who was trying to avenge her Zortai adoptive parents' honor, had also come on board, posing as special investigator CommanderRegina Campisi, incriminating Farrell as the prime suspect in the previous murders. Farrell was on the scene in the holodeck when Santu made her move on La Forge, but the attempt was foiled by the ship's first officer, Commander William T. Riker, and chief of security, Lieutenant Worf, after Riker had seen through Santu's ruse during a previous conversation.
